Paul Di'Anno Cancels North American Tour

07/29/2013.

Paul Di'Anno, the frontman for metal legends Iron Maiden on their first two studio albums, has announced that he has been forced to cancel his upcoming North American tour.

Di'Anno posted a message online to fans to explain that he had to pull out of the tour due to an issue with the tour's promoter. He wrote, "Due to a snake (supposed USA booking agent) ripping everyone off in every way possible known to man (and a few ways not heard of yet) the USA tour will not be going ahead.

"After waiting and waiting and waiting and lies and lies and more lies (and then just a few more lies and bullsh**) just like happened to many others before me - I have had to admit defeat to this lowlife and forget about the USA tour for now.

"As you can imagine, money changed hands over there in the USA (not my hands I might add) and keeping me suppressed was the best thing to do whilst it was all stashed away.

"My apologies to the American fans who have been let down and to the various promoters who got so badly burnt in this way. This slime bag snake knows who he is (and so does half of the metal and rock business) so lets hope his fall is a steep one "
